Very few updates, and features to be implementing not coming. I have felt it possibly best to wait with saying something until I have something to show, but it is a bit off, so here goes.

The project is not dead and a lot of work is going into it. But a difficult decision has been made, and this means complete rewrite - and that takes time.

Without support for mobile devices, TF can not get proper reach.

It has not been easy to decide to scrap the current code base, and the reason upsets me.

It feels like the giants of the computer industry want to own the software ecosystem to such a degree, that distributing software becomes a challenging pain.

This leads to a lot of frustration when a lot of time goes into things that should be simple.

My profession is a backend developer. I did not anticipate just how much hassle it would be to package and distribute a portable app in a simple way.

But I am learning new stuff, and once the initial bits are done, it could speed things up.

@trunkfriends Your program has been a lifesaver for me--I wish you lots of luck and I will be looking forward to seeing the "new" Trunkfriends whenever it comes out!
